This is where I have a problem with this, the fact that there is
no upgrade path - virtually my entire installed base of Fedora is
running legacy BIOS and not being able to upgrade them will be
something of a headache.
Is it actually true though? You need to be able to find some space
for an EFI partition but assuming that can be done is there some
other reason you can't migrate from BIOS to UEFI booting?
I actually did it manually several releases ago when I got a new computer that supported EFI but kept the same OS drive.
I'm not going to lie, it was VERY painful and took me a while to figure everything out, a lot of googling and trying stuff. It wasn't for the faint of heart.
Thanks,
Richard
